"The Wisconsin law was introduced last year by State Sen. Julie Lassa (D-Stevens Point) and State Rep. Kelda Roys (D-Madison) who said they became concerned about BPA after reading about its effects in articles in the Journal Sentinel."

Congrats on a job well done. That includes the state legislature and the Journal Sentinel. Investigative journalism is something that is really needed in our society. You would think everyone would be happy but I guess there always grumps out there. barrelman 21 and seinatra must work in the BPA baby bottle making industry

Thanks again gov't for looking out for my best interests. I don't know how big plastic was able to get away with this for so long. Reading about this terrible chemical practically every day had caused me a great amount of anxiety and many sleepless nights.

Also, could you look into banning flouresent light bulbs? I've come to learn that they contain mercury. We all know how bad mercury is for you so this should be a no brainer. They're so toxic I have a hard time getting them disposed of. The garbage collectors won't take 'em, City self-help center won't take 'em, even the retailers that sold them to me won't take 'em.

So as they began to accumulate in my basement, one broke. Now I'm worried knowing these chemicals are in my basement and I don't know what to do! Could someone from the appropriate gov't agency send over a hazmat crew or something??? Please?

I hope JS will quit writing ad nauseum stories about BPA now. It's great to keep it out of babies bottles but the anti-BPA fever needs to be tempered with the fact that it is indispensable in the canned food industry. Chemical & Engineering News recently published an excellent editorial highlighting this fact.
